Then that becomes your center seam and you cut the fabric on bias. This is an easy way, however here is the professional way of drafting a cowl pattern:<br /><br /><br />https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AWldpSHOJTKpBE1guTN6ZE_mkPx9TuPfGWdFokU6hJsjgwqXo90_2io/dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682349859850959978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122175783741720775.post-89565442031969437642016-03-07T08:01:13.528-06:002016-03-07T08:01:13.528-06:00How do you pattern a low back cowl that shows your...How do you pattern a low back cowl that shows your back up to the waist line?

The problem with doing it the way you described (based on my understanding of these things, which is limited), is that for the cowl to drape well, you need it do be both wider and taller, and only wider/taller in the upper chest area (not all the way to the hem). That said, I'd be interested to know what happens if you do it the way you described! If you try, please let me know.

Creating a wedge shape of fabric (cowl) between the folded edge and the edge of the pattern. I`m sure that`s as clear as mud!

If you mean why do I move the dart, it's just to create a deep cowl neck than you might achieve by just re-drafting the neck. Not sure if that really addresses the question . . . What do you mean by "placing the centre line at an anble to the fold?"PoldaPophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540000076159376802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122175783741720775.post-21287699264993916552014-09-17T20:19:37.468-05:002014-09-17T20:19:37.468-05:00QUick question.
